The Magnetic Fields – The Dolls Tea Party (Guitar)

       B                    E       F#
At the dolls' tea party, we fritter away

    B                   E           F#
The long afternoon of a warm summer day

       B                  E           F#
With extended pinkies and pink cloisonne

         B           F#         B       F#
Cups and saucers and pots and a Liberty tray

           B             E  F#
That's why we take our tea

       B               E   F#
At the dolls' tea party

       B                   E        F#
At the dolls' tea party we twitter along

   B                     E               F#
We prattle and tattle on who's done whom wrong

         B                        E          F#
On who's in, who's out, and who's best at mahjongg

        G#m          B/D#     Bm/D         F#/C#
Oh, and where to buy fabulous things for a song

           B             E  F#
That's why we take our tea

       B               E   F#
At the dolls' tea party

        G
But the cakes!

                      D
Ah, the cakes are why everyone's there

        C               F#/C#
They're not dietetic in any way

        B                         E             B
Dare to try one and you'll have a few pounds to spare

     E
Try another one

Esus2       G    F#
What do you care?

       B                        E          F#
At the dolls', we're all in our glittering best

      B         F#            B              F#
There will be a test on who's best and worst dressed

       B                        E        F#
But we won't have it said we're fashion obsessed

           G#m      B/D#        Bm/D        F#/C#
We're just prettier ladies than most of the rest

           B             E  F#
That's why we take our tea

       B               E   F#   B
